Have you looked at the dev/display/sequences.html escape sequences? Are
these display codes the same as those given by the keycode cooker?

According to page 203 of the manual, their custom escape sequences are
"more efficient and more flexible than traditional vt52 commands". (Though
they also support the vt52 codes.)
